30 unused days · UAEAED 8,000
Annual leave builds up month by month through each leave year. Leave salary is the pay for those days: the monthly salary the law uses (basic in the UAE, full wage in Saudi Arabia and Oman) divided by 30, for each day. Sick leave works differently: each country pays a set number of days in full, then a reduced percentage, then nothing, per year of service.
Unused leave worked out with the calculator above. Salaries are monthly, local currency (basic + allowances).
| Country | Monthly pay | Service | Leave this year | Leave salary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAE | AED 8,000 + 4,000 | 3 yrs | 30 earned, 0 taken | 30 days = AED 8,000 |
| UAE | AED 8,000 + 4,000 | 9 months | 18 earned, 0 taken | 18 days = AED 4,800 |
| Saudi Arabia | SAR 7,000 + 3,000 | 6 yrs | 30 earned, 10 taken | 20 days = SAR 6,666.67 |
| Qatar | QAR 6,000 | 2 yrs | 10.5 earned, 0 taken | 10.5 days = QAR 2,100 |
| Oman | OMR 800 + 200 | 4 yrs | 30 earned, 20 taken | 10 days = OMR 333.33 |
| Bahrain | BHD 600 + 200 | 3 yrs | 30 earned, 15 taken | 15 days = BHD 400 |
The second UAE row is 9 months into the job: 2 days a month under the 6–12 month rule.
Switch the calculator to Sick leave to run your own numbers. Daily wage = monthly wage ÷ 30.
| Country | Monthly wage | Sick days | Paid / unpaid | Sick pay |

| UAE | AED 8,000 | 20 days | 20 paid, 0 unpaid | AED 4,666.67 |

Unused leave is one part of what you're owed. Add it up with your gratuity and notice pay:
UAE leave salary is based on basic salary: basic ÷ 30 for each leave day. Full-time workers get 30 days a year after their first year; between 6 and 12 months you earn 2 days per month, and nothing before 6 months.
Yes. Leave you've earned but not taken is paid out in your final settlement at the leave daily rate. The final settlement calculator adds it to your gratuity and other dues.
Saudi Arabia gives 21 days a year, rising to 30 after five years with the same employer. Qatar gives three weeks a year, rising to four weeks after five years. Oman and Bahrain give 30 days.
After probation, up to 90 days of sick leave a year: the first 15 days on full pay, the next 30 on half pay, and the remaining 45 unpaid.
Up to 120 days a year: the first 30 days on full pay, the next 60 at 75% of pay, and the last 30 unpaid.
It varies. The UAE uses basic salary; Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain use full wage including fixed allowances; Qatar is taken as basic. The statement shows the daily rate used so you can compare it with your payslip.
